All the isotopes of a chemical element are identical; some differences exist for light elements (ex. H or D).

Why do isotopes of the same element have the same chemical behavior?

Chemical properties of a element is governed by ELECTRONIC CONFIGURATION of that element. As isotopes of same element have identical electronic configurations, their chemical properties are same.


Why do all the isotopes have the same chemical properties?

Isotopes of an element have the same number of protons, which determines their chemical properties. It is the arrangement of electrons, which is determined by the number of protons, that governs an element's chemical behavior. Therefore, isotopes of an element exhibit the same chemical properties.


How are isotopes alike?

Isotopes are exactly same with respect to all the chemical properties but they differ with respect to physical properties.


Why does both isotopes of phosphorus have identical chemical properties?

All isotopes of a substance are chemically the same. It is their physical properties which are different.


All isotopes of an element have the same?

chemical properties


Why isotopes of an element show identical chemical properties?

The number of electrons in isotopes is identical.


What is the relationship between atoms ad isotopes?

A natural chemical element may be monoisotopic or has isotopes. Isotopes are atoms but they differ from other isotopes by the number of neutrons. This involve a different atomic mass and different physical properties or sometimes (for light isotopes) different chemical properties. Also, all chemical elements have radioactive, artificial isotopes.


Does isotopes affect the physical properties of the element?

Isotopes contribute to the atomic weight of a chemical element.


Do isotopes differ from one another in their chemical properties?

Yes


Do isotopes exhibit the same chemical atomic properties yes or no?

No, there are differences in chemical properties of different isotopes of the same element. For instance, certain isotopes will be radioactive while other isotopes will be stable and nonradioactive. Also, the different isotopes of hydrogen are significantly different depending on the number of neutrons present.


Is isotopes of same element have same properties?

The differences in chemical properties are not significant (excepting protium and deuterium); the physical properties are different.


Why the isotopes have the same chemical properties?

The identity of a chemical element is given by the number of protons.
